Food insecurity is on the rise nationwide, and as prices rise, wages stay stagnant, and hunger grows, more and more Americans are unsure if they have the ability to afford or acquire enough food to meet the needs of their households.
According to this article at Palm Springs Life, food insecurity in the Coachella Valley is on the rise, worsened with the recent government shutdown, and is “likely to continue into next year and beyond as growing numbers of individuals and families struggle to make ends meet with paychecks that fail to keep up with the escalating costs of housing, insurance, utilities, groceries, and inflation”.
FIND Food Bank, founded in 1983, is a healthy food bank that delivers fresh and non-perishable food to a vast network of community agency partners. They were created to assist those with limited access to meet their nutritional needs, and serve as the “emergency disaster response regional food bank recognized by the state and county as the first line of defense against hunger” in the Coachella Valley, helping to feed an average of 120,000 people per month.
